In India more than 50% of transaction were done by UPI scanning. You may think, what’s unique and common about that ?
Think, getting it? It’s QR Code
Want to know about the history of QR? Okay then, let’s go back to Japan 🇯🇵. In 1994 there is this company called #DensoWave which manufacture automobile parts and had difficulty in tracking them. One day Masahiro Hara, an engineer who works at DensoWave was thinking to find solution for this and then Eureka! He found some thing fishy. So, how did this happen? It’s by playing a game called Komi (Go). Which had black and white colored stones are played on the grid like intersection 📉. Then Masahiro Hara stared working on this code and discovered QR Code finally . Today we enjoy the fruitful thought of Masahiro Hara. Thank you for reading 🙏
